What was happening is that there was a duplicate update pushed, due to races in the test between connecting the clients, agents, and initial heartbeats. We attempt to suppress duplicates by serializing the updates to JSON, and comparing with the last update, but this is sensitive to ordering of the nodes.
Ultimately, the updates are idempotent, so dupes are benign. I'm not going to get super serious about suppressing duplicates by like, sorting into a canonical order or whatever.
Instead, I've just updated the test code to tolerate getting extra updates on the way to whatever final state it's looking for.
